Interested in Painting a Public Art Mural? Here’s How to Get Started

Ventura’s vibrant public art scene is constantly evolving, with more murals being added each year. If you’re planning to install a mural, you’ll need to obtain a City permit in the following cases:

  • The mural will be on private property and visible from public areas (e.g., sidewalks, streets).
  • The mural will be on or inside City-owned property.
  • The mural will be in a Historic District or on a Historic Landmark.

The permitting process is outlined in the Public Art Mural Application Packet, which you can access below. The Community Partnerships Division within the Parks & Recreation Department is also available to assist you through the review and approval process.
